CAUTION

► Avoid smoky, humid and dusty places (e.g. near a humidifier,
a smoking area, a kitchen etc.) Placing the projector in such a place could cause
fire, electric shock and/or projector malfunction.
► Adjust the position of the projector so that light does not shine directly on the
projector's remote sensor.
►

The manufacturer strongly recommends avoiding any magnetic contact that is
not shielded or protected on or near the projector itself. (e.g. Magnetic Security
Devices, or other projector accessories that contain magnetic material that has not
been provided by the manufacture etc.) Magnetic objects may cause interruption
of the projector's internal mechanisms which may interfere with cooling fan speed
or cause the fans to stop, and may cause the projector to shut down completely.

Preparations

Adjusting the projector’s elevation

The elevator feet can be used to make adjustments if the surface on which the
projector is set is uneven or if the projection angle needs to be otherwise adjusted.
The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 7 degrees.

Press and hold in the elevator

1.

buttons while holding the projector.
There are elevator buttons and feet
on the both sides of the projector.

Raise or lower the projector to the

2.

desired height and release the
elevator buttons. When the elevator
buttons are released, the elevator
feet will lock into position.

If necessary, the elevator feet can

3.

be manually twisted to make more
precise adjustments.

7°

WARNING

immediately after use. Handling while the projector is hot could cause burn
and/or projector malfunction. Before adjusting the elevation, make sure that the
power switch is off, that the power cord is unplugged, and that the projector is
adequately cool.

CAUTION

cause the projector to fall, overturn, or strike your fingers and possibly cause
projector malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself,
always hold the projector whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the
elevator feet.
► Do not tilt the projector to the right or left. Also be sure not to raise the
front or rear of the projector more than 7 degrees. Raising the projector more
than 7 degrees could cause projector malfunction or shorten the lifetime of
consumables.
► Other than raising the projector using the elevator feet, place the projector
horizontally.

► Do not adjust the elevation of the projector during or

► Using the elevator buttons without holding the projector could

CAUTION

► Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.
Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud
noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to
the device and/or projector.
► Use the accessory cables or a designated cable type to make connections.
Some cables have to be used with a core. A cable that is too long may cause
picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for more information. For
cables that have a core only at one end, connect the end with the core to the
projector.
► Make sure that devices are connected to the correct port. An incorrect
connection may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or
projector.

NOTE

• Automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals.

NOTE

• Be sure to tighten the screws on connectors to secure.

• Use only an HDMI cable marked with the HDMI logo for HDMI connections.

• Use a DVI-HDMI cable or adapter when connecting to a DVI output device. In
some cases however, a DVI input to the HDMI port may not work properly.

• Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure
to activate the laptop’s external RGB output (set the laptop to CRT display or to
simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For more information please refer to the
instruction manual of the laptop computer.

• Be sure to check jack type, signal level, timing and resolution before
connecting this projector to a computer.

• Some computers may have multiple screen display modes. Some of these
modes cannot used with this projector.

• The image may not be displayed correctly when the input signal is a
composite sync or a sync on G signal.

• For some computer signals the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

• Automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals.

NOTE

• Full-size display may not be possible with some input signals. Refer

to the resolutions above.

• Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to SXGA
(1280x1024), signals will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution
before being displayed. The best display performance is achieved when the
resolutions of the input signal and projector panel are identical.

• For some input types when the screen resolution is changed on a computer,
the automatic adjustment function may take a long time or may not complete. If
this happens, you may not be able to see the “Yes/No” check box to confirm the
resolution change in Windows. The screen resolution will then be reset to the
previous resolution. It is recommended to use a CRT or LCD monitor to change
the resolution if this occurs.

About Plug-and-Play capability

Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a computer, its operating system and
peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B
compatible. Plug-and-Play can be used by connecting this projector to a computer
that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.

• Take advantage of this feature by connecting an RGB cable to the COMPUTER
port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type
of connection is attempted.

• This projector behaves as a standard Plug-and-Play monitor and uses the
standard monitor drivers provided with your operating system.

Preparations

Remote control

sensor

 The range of the remote sensor is

60-degrees (30-degrees to the left and
right of the remote sensor) within 3
meters.

Approximately

3m

 The remote signal may also be able

to be reflected off the screen etc. If it
is difficult to send the remote signal
to the sensor directly, try to reflect the
signal.

 The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class1

LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.

fluorescent lamp) shines on the projector’s remote sensor. Adjust the position
of the projector so that light does not shine directly on the projector's remote
sensor.
